Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 1, 2026

1. Who are we?

Foxy Games is a brand of Vonkit BV and is developed by Glenn Van den Heuvel. Vonkit BV, Beemdenstraat 26, 2350 Vosselaar, Belgium, company number 1044.421.962, is the controller responsible for your data. Website: foxygames.be. Contact: via info@foxygames.be.

2. What data do we collect?

Foxy Games collects as little personal data as possible:

Without an account: No personal data. You choose a nickname and avatar, these are not stored after the session.
With Facebook Login (optional): Your public profile (name, profile picture) and friends list (only friends who also use Foxy Games). This is used solely for friend rankings in the game.
Technical data: IP address and session information for multiplayer functionality. These are not linked to your identity and are automatically deleted after the session. For Foxy Explore: see section 4b.

3. How do we use your data?

Enable multiplayer game sessions
Show friend rankings (only with Facebook Login)
Technical operation of the website and games
Playing Foxy Explore, keeping track of your results and finds, and reviewing photos and routes from players

We do not use your data for marketing, advertising or selling to third parties.

4. Facebook Login

If you choose to log in via Facebook, we request access to:

public_profile: Your name and profile picture, to identify you in the game.
user_friends: Your friends list (only friends who also use Foxy Games), to show rankings between friends.

You can revoke this permission at any time via your Facebook app settings.

4b. Foxy Explore

For Foxy Explore you need a Facebook account, and that is only possible from age 13. We advise against the game for children under 13: you walk outdoors and in traffic. Under-18s always play with an adult present. You play at your own responsibility. If you play together with younger children, you do so on your own account and the responsibility stays with you.

What we store when you play

Your name and profile picture from Facebook, your Facebook ID and your language.
Your results: routes played, stars, points, play time and play date.
Which stops you found and when. This shows that you were at that place at that moment.
A paused round, so you can resume it later.
If you give permission: the list of your Facebook friends who also play Foxy Explore, for the friends ranking.

Your location while playing

While you play, the game uses your device's GPS to see whether you are close enough to the stop. Your route is not stored as a track on our server. You can always withdraw the location permission in your browser or device, but then you cannot play.

If you contribute something yourself

If you suggest a photo or make your own route, we also store the photos, your texts and the GPS coordinates where the photo was taken. Administrators and moderators review this before it goes online. If it is approved, other players see the photo or route, possibly with the name you give as the creator. Do not photograph identifiable people without their permission, and certainly not children.

What other players see of you

Your name, profile picture and score may appear in the rankings of a route.

Reports and moderation

If someone reports a route or photo, we store that report. In case of misuse we can remove content or block an account, and then we also store the reason.

Map

The map in the game comes from OpenStreetMap. Their server sees your IP address when it does, like any server your browser contacts.

Route photos

Many route photos come from Wikimedia Commons. We store them on our own server, so nothing about you goes to Wikimedia.

How long

We keep this data as long as your account exists. If you request deletion, we erase your account, results, finds and paused rounds within 30 days. Approved photos and routes may stay online without your name, unless you ask us to remove them too.

Legal basis

We process this data to provide the game you asked for, and for moderation and safety because we have a legitimate interest in that. We use the friends list only with your permission.

5. Cookies

Foxy Games only uses strictly necessary cookies for session management (multiplayer). We do not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies or advertising cookies.

6. Sharing data with third parties

We do not share your data with third parties, except:

Facebook: Only if you choose to log in via Facebook. Facebook's own privacy policy applies to their service.
Deezer & Apple Music: Foxy Music uses the Deezer API and Apple Music API for music clips. No personal data is shared with these services.
Hosting: Combell (Belgium) hosts our servers. Data remains within the EU.
OpenStreetMap: Provides the map in Foxy Explore and sees your IP address when it does.

7. Retention period

Session data is automatically deleted after the game session ends. With Facebook Login, we retain your profile as long as your account is active. You can request deletion at any time. For Foxy Explore: see section 4b.

8. Your rights (GDPR)

Under the European GDPR you have the right to:

Access your data
Correct inaccurate data
Delete your data
Restrict processing
Data portability
Object to processing

9. Children

Foxy Games includes a Kids mode and is suitable for children. We do not ask children under 13 for data. Foxy Explore requires a Facebook account, which is only possible from age 13; we advise against the game for younger children. Facebook Login is not available for children.

The Foxy Adventures (Pip searches for Santa and Foxy Is Always Right) work without an account, without ads and without in-game purchases. We do not collect any data in them. Progress is only stored in the browser on your own device (local storage) and disappears when you clear the site data of play.foxygames.be. Pip searches for Santa loads everything from our own server: nothing goes to third parties. Foxy Is Always Right still loads the game engine and some fonts from Google servers (gstatic.com) for now; like any server your browser contacts, Google sees your IP address when it does.

10. Data Deletion

You can request deletion of all your data at Foxy Games at any time:

Remove Facebook connection: Go to your Facebook app settings and remove Foxy Games.
Delete all data: Send a request via info@foxygames.be with your Facebook name or email. We will delete all your data (profile, scores, progress, finds, suggestions) within 30 days.
In the app: Go to Settings → "Reset all progress" to immediately clear your local progress.

After deletion, your data cannot be recovered.

11. Changes

We may update this privacy policy. Changes will be published on this page with a new date.
